Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal-Chapter 209 - 161: Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation, Xiaobai’s Power Is Overwhelming—Am I Not Worthy?

Chapter 209: Chapter 161: Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation, Xiaobai’s Power Is Overwhelming—Am I Not Worthy?

"Yes!"

Lin Chang’sheng decisively clicked "yes." After the fusion, a stronger array would definitely emerge—only a fool would refuse.

[Purple Heaven Earth Vein Array (Perfect), Celestial Array of Earth Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Locking (Perfect), Refining God Array (Perfect), Earth Vein Fiery Divine Burning Array (Perfect), Void Spirit Gathering Array (Perfect) fusing... Fusion successful... Obtained Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation!]

"Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation?"

That name alone is anything but ordinary. But what does it actually do?

[Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation detected. Spend 3,000 Spirit Stones to simplify it?]

The interface pop-up appeared again.

Lin Chang’sheng clicked "yes" once more.

[Great Dao is Simple: Simplifying Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation... Simplification in progress... Simplification complete. Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation == Roasted Spirit Stones!]

"Roasted Spirit Stones?"

This kind of simplification is so human. Lin Chang’sheng instantly pulled out a Spirit Stone, circulated his technique, and conjured a flame to start roasting the Spirit Stone.

[Experience Points for Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation +1]

[Experience Points for Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation +1]

...

After roasting for quite a while, Lin Chang’sheng realized that burning a single Spirit Stone was way too slow for gaining Experience Points.

So he just dumped out several thousand Spirit Stones, grabbed some wood, and with a palm technique, set all the wood ablaze.

Over a thousand Spirit Stones were roasted by fire all at once.

Now the speed ramped up a lot. In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation reached perfection.

Suddenly, a massive wave of array knowledge flooded Lin Chang’sheng’s mind. In that instant, he was like a grandmaster who had studied arrays for centuries—knowing every secret of both setting and breaking them.

"So this Celestial Array of Divine Fire Heaven-Burning Spirit Transformation is made up of sixty-six Array Foundations, three Array Hubs, and one Array Plate. Using earth fire to burn anyone who enters—with their death, their entire lifetime’s cultivation gets converted to spiritual energy and absorbed by the array master through the Array Hub!"

"This array is seriously overpowered?"

Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. If he set up this array to kill an enemy, wouldn’t their entire cultivation be his for the taking?

That would drastically cut down his breakthrough time!

It’s honestly even faster than absorbing Spirit Stones or elixirs.

"Alright then, time to use the Beimu Immortal Race as practice!"

Lin Chang’sheng promptly summoned his top-tier magical weapon—the Immortal Slaying Saber—ready to mount his sword and head for Great Yu.

Right now, the Beimu Immortal Race had already invaded Great Yu territory.

This place was still thirty thousand miles away from Great Yu. At Lin Chang’sheng’s current speed, he’d get there in less than three days.

Back in the day, when he was just at the Qi Cultivation Stage, it took him a year and a half to travel the hundred thousand miles from Great Yu to Liuyun Immortal Sect.

But now? A hundred thousand miles—he’d make it in less than half a month.

"Oh right, and there’s the Divine Soul Contract Technique!"

The journey could get pretty dull, and Lin Chang’sheng suddenly remembered the Divine Soul Contract Technique.

This was a treasure he’d snatched up by killing someone in the Void Divine Hall, meant for use on Demon Beasts, Spirit Beasts, and the like.

Once the contract was signed, both parties would have a spiritual connection. Commanding a spirit beast would be as easy as moving your arm or fingers.

Lin Chang’sheng planned to use it on Xiaobai. The little guy was smart—sometimes he could even understand what Lin Chang’sheng was saying.

But Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t really understand what Xiaobai wanted to say; all he could figure out was a nod or a head shake.

Anything else? No clue.

If he could just sign the Soul Contract Technique—

Then the two of them could talk as easily as they wanted.

"Xiaobai!"

Lin Chang’sheng called Xiaobai out from the Spirit Beast Bag, tossing him a pear while he was at it.

Xiaobai seemed to love pears, hugging it and gnawing away right away.

While Xiaobai was enjoying his snack, Lin Chang’sheng started up the Divine Soul Contract Technique and tapped Xiaobai on the head.

"Ah~"

Suddenly, a woman’s startled voice rang out, "You—you, what did you just do to me?"

Lin Chang’sheng looked around—there was no one there!

Where on earth did that voice come from? Was he hallucinating?

Lin Chang’sheng glanced at Xiaobai and signaled for him to turn in a circle, but Xiaobai just stared at him with big, angry eyes.

"Did I get it wrong? Isn’t this supposed to let me control my contracted beast at will? Maybe I’m using it wrong?"

Lin Chang’sheng tried to sign the Divine Soul Contract Technique with Xiaobai again.

But Xiaobai was on guard now—whenever Lin Chang’sheng reached out, he dodged left and right, not giving him another chance.

"Should I ask Murong Tian about this?"

Unable to catch Xiaobai, Lin Chang’sheng had no choice but to call Murong Tian out from the Hundred Thousand Soul Banner.

"Ruyan, Ruyan—"

As soon as he appeared, Murong Tian started calling for Ji Ruyan. Realizing nobody else was around, a little loneliness crept into his eyes.

"Senior, didn’t you promise to let me see Ji Ruyan? Where’s Ruyan?"

Murmong Tian asked, confused.

That put Lin Chang’sheng in a bit of an awkward spot.

He had indeed promised Murong Tian, but things had gotten so dangerous that he could hardly protect himself at the time.

There was no way he could take care of everything.

"I gave you my word; you’ll meet Elder Ji eventually. But right now, I’m being chased by Nascent Soul cultivators and need to lay low a bit. If something happens to me, you might never get to see Elder Ji again—not in this lifetime!"

Lin Chang’sheng spoke truthfully. No point in lying to a soul.

"Nascent Soul cultivators are after you?"

Murong Tian’s eyes went wide. Lin Chang’sheng was certainly a gifted genius—

Broke through to the Golden Core Stage at such a young age.

But compared to a Nascent Soul powerhouse, that was like a firefly to the sun; one flick of their fingers and you’d be dead.

"I called you out because I wanted to ask: Why doesn’t the Divine Soul Contract Technique work on Xiaobai? What’s gone wrong?"

Lin Chang’sheng pointed at Xiaobai as he spoke to Murong Tian.

Murong Tian snapped back to his senses and looked at Xiaobai.

The moment he laid eyes on Xiaobai, Murong Tian shuddered.

He could clearly sense a terrifying aura from Xiaobai that no normal White Fox would have.

Luckily, Xiaobai didn’t care about him and just kept eating pears; otherwise, if the little fox had a problem with him, he’d be torn to pieces in a heartbeat.

"If the Divine Soul Contract Technique fails, it’s only for two reasons,"

"The first is the user didn’t learn properly or used the wrong method. The second is—the target of the contract’s cultivation is so much higher than the user’s, the contract just doesn’t work!"

Murong Tian explained slowly.

Lin Chang’sheng had cultivated the Divine Soul Contract Technique to the perfect level, so there’s no way he’d make a mistake operating it.

So there was only one explanation: Xiaobai’s cultivation was way higher than his, causing the contract to fail.

"So basically, I’m just not strong enough—not qualified to contract with Xiaobai?"

Lin Chang’sheng muttered to himself, feeling a little disappointed.

Living with Xiaobai so long, he’d naturally realized there was something different about him—definitely not just an ordinary White Fox.

He just didn’t expect that—even at Golden Core Stage—there was such a huge gap between their cultivations.

Could Xiaobai be at Nascent Soul, or even Divinity Transformation Realm?

"Got it. I understand. Go on back in."

Lin Chang’sheng more or less figured out what was going on and prepared to put Murong Tian back into the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Senior, if you ever find Ji Ruyan, you must let me see her! That’s my last obsession in this world!"

Murong Tian begged.

"Alright, what I promised I’ll do!"

With that, Lin Chang’sheng waved the Hundred Thousand Soul Banner and sucked Murong Tian back in.

"You little white fox, your cultivation is THAT much higher than mine, and you’ve been mooching food off me all this time?"

Lin Chang’sheng grumbled inwardly, staring at Xiaobai, who was munching on a pear beside him.

"What? You got a problem with that? I’ve saved you more than once, you know!"

The very next moment, a deep and commanding female voice echoed in Lin Chang’sheng’s mind.

He looked around for a while, even spread his divine sense out for a hundred miles—

Still found nothing.

In the end, his eyes landed on Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai? Was that you talking to me?"

Lin Chang’sheng looked at Xiaobai in surprise. Didn’t the contract fail? So how could he hear Xiaobai’s voice?

"Who else would it be? You think you can contract me at Golden Core Stage? Even if I only have one-tenth of my original cultivation, you still couldn’t do it!"

Xiaobai’s voice came again.

That imperious and mature tone made Lin Chang’sheng jump.

Who would have thought this little white fox was anything but simple—there was actually a domineering ’big sis’ voice inside.

But Xiaobai’s words snapped Lin Chang’sheng back to reality. Golden Core might be strong in the Immortal Relic Land—

But to cultivators in the Burial Immortal Realm or other immortal domains, it was basically ant-level.

He really did need to work harder to boost his cultivation.

Otherwise he couldn’t even take down that old bastard Celestial Concealment.

"Xiaobai, where are you from? How did you get hurt back then?"

Lin Chang’sheng asked. He had tons of questions for this mysterious white fox.

He was also super curious about the mysterious Burial Immortal Realm.

But his questions were like stones dropped into the sea—Xiaobai didn’t respond at all.

Who knew if she didn’t want to say, or if she was mad that Lin Chang’sheng tried signing a contract without her permission.

Seeing that Xiaobai wasn’t talking, Lin Chang’sheng stopped asking.

After Xiaobai finished the pear, Lin Chang’sheng put her back into the Spirit Beast Bag and set off again.

A day later—

Lin Chang’sheng arrived at Lingtian City, twenty thousand miles from Great Yu.

The city was still untouched by the Beimu Cultivators—bustling and lively as ever.

Seeing nightfall, Lin Chang’sheng decided to stay one more night before moving on.

"Move aside, move aside!"

But just as Lin Chang’sheng was looking for an inn...

He saw a man up ahead running out in just his pants, holding them up as he went.

Behind him, another man was chasing after him with a cleaver. "You bastard! How dare you mess with my wife—I’ll chop you to pieces!"

"Cao De?"

Lin Chang’sheng saw the sneaky guy up ahead, pants in hand, sprinting along. He couldn’t help but frown.

Good grief—no matter where you go, you run into guys like this who are always after other people’s wives!

Whoosh whoosh—

At that moment, several streaks of light flashed across the sky above as sword-riding figures descended.

Lin Chang’sheng looked up and spotted several familiar faces.

Zhuo Yijian from Celestial Sword Sect, Yu Lingfei from Yanyue Immortal Sect, and Fu Qingyu were among them.

"Senior Brother Hua, the Beimu Immortal Race is now barely a hundred miles from Lingtian City. Let’s wait here—they’re bound to attack!"

Zhuo Yijian said to a man in his thirties ahead of him.

The man’s cultivation was at Golden Core Peak.

At that age and that level, he’d definitely been a prodigy of the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm ten years ago.

"Alright! Absolutely do not act rashly! The Beimu Immortal Race is not short of experts. If things go south, retreat!"

Hua Yu replied.

Their orders were to slow the Beimu Immortal Race’s advance.

But at most, they could only take out the forces below Golden Core Middle Stage.

Run into anything above Golden Core Middle Stage? Retreat, no question.
